No transitions or titles on export

Every time I export my project the titles are missing and there is a black space where the transitions should be. I've tried several video formats:
H.264 Decoder, 720 x 540, Millions
AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz
DV, 720 x 480 (640 x 480), Millions
DV, Stereo, 48.000 kHz
Apple OpenDML JPEG, 640 x 480, Millions
8-bit Unsigned Integer, Mono, 11.024 kHz
Each of these formats failed to export with transitions and video. Is there a known bug? I've found nothing on the forums so far.
I'm running iMovie on an iMac G5, OS X 10.4.11
Thanks for your help.

I just followed Simon's instructions, and it worked.
Then I did the following:
- Dragged two more clips out onto the timeline in
track 2
- Added Delay to track 2
- Added Soundtrack Pro Reverb to tracks 1 and 2
- Export Mix
And the mix I exported sounds like it should with
reverb and delay on both tracks. I wonder what could
be causing this for you, Chad. I noticed you're on
1.03 and I've upgraded to Soundtrack Pro 1.1, so we
might not be comparing apples to apples.
I've got a friend with a Quad 2.5. I'll e-mail him
and ask him to try this test to see if the machine is
the problem.
hey Collings!
awesome that you are helping check this out!
try this... IMPORTANT detail... on a track that has MAC OS DELAY and STP REVERB make sure the sample has space in between... i.e. you drag a clip in... make it 1 seconds then skip 1 second (blank space in the track) then have the clip again. What STP should do is... once a clip ends it should continue the effect (delay in this case) however long it needs to, you could make the DELAY 2 seconds and even though the clip ends at 1 second the delay continues.

Saving projects with Transitions and Titles - iMovie 3

Every time I edit a movie in iMovie 3, add transitions and titles, and then save, the next time I open the project, I get a window saying there are x number of stray clips (my transition and title clips) and would I like to move them to the clip panes or leave them alone. Either way, they end up being out of order. Why will they not stay in the edited order that I put them in, even after I hit Save?

I do Save the projects this way and all the clips show up in the edit panel below the clip frames. BUT, none of the Transition or Title clips stay in the edit panel below. Each time I open the saved project, a message window appears saying that there are x number of stray clips (the Transition and Title Clips). Then it asks me if I would like to leave them alone or put them in the clips pane. If I put them in the clips pane, then I have to once again reposition them where they belong in the edit panel below. This happens every time.

After Mavericks upgrade I lost the current I Movie project I was working on. All that is left is the video clips, no photographs, music, transitions or titles. Three weeks work gone!

I upgraded to Maverick from Mountain Lion.
I also upgraded the various Apple Software applications that appeared after the upgrade to the operating system. I opened I Movie to continue work on a project I was working on and as requested I allowed I Movie to update the projects to allow it to work with the upgrade.
As it was doing this a dialogue box came up showing an error had been encountered and advised me to quit I movie. I did this and when I reopened it the project I had been working on had lost all of the photographs, music, transitions and titles. All that was left were the thirty-seven video clips and nothing else. Where has all my work gone and how can I retrieve it.

It should still be on your backup drive. Try reimporting it.

Clicking on Transition and Title browsers causes '11 iMovie crash and projects/events play audio but no video

After several years of working fine, my old iMovie started acting funny. Clicking on the Transition or Title browser would cause it to shut down. I just bought/downloaded the "upgrade" to '11 iMovie, 9.0.4, yesterday, and now, not only does it still do the same thing, but the projects or events won't play any video portion, only the audio.
I'm running 10.6.8 on an iMac

I seem to be having the same problem. I'm running a mac mini and I have like 5 photos, 1 song, and 2 movie clips (not a lot of stuff) in the movie, and when i go to preview it... I see the pictures, and hear the music... but no video.

Adobe Premiere Elements 4-lost transitions and titles

I have been editing a Adobe Pre 4-projects and saved it a couple of times during the last 14 days. Yesterday I moved the whole project file to another disk (external), unfortunately I did not copy and save; I moved it.
Now when I open the project from the external disk, all the transitions and titles are gone. Where have all the transitions and titles gone?

Hi thanks for the response,
So I had adobe PrE 4.0 and downloaded the free trial version of adobe PrE 10 from the adobe site. I opened my PrE 4.0 project file in the trial version to see how it would look and it looked fine but for some reason PrE 10 is extremley slow on my computer and I have an ok computer, and I am not talking about the playback video was choppy, which it was, the editing process on the timeline was so slow and choppy that it was hard to edit properly. The did not move any files and PrE 10 didn't ask me any questions, I just go on it and opened the project file up from the PrE 4.0 file location. So I got rid of the trial version and went back to PrE 4.0 to get back to work on the same project and when I got there the transitions and titles would not work for that project file, however if I started a new file it would work fine (but I do not wish to start all over), when the video got to the titles in the playback video a red screen with the words media offline in several languages would come up and than go away once the title was supposed to be gone. I have the bad/messed up project file on my flashdrive now too. If we can't get this to fix on 4.0 than maybe you could tell me how to fix the PrE 10 because I got that too just in case, maybe you could tell me how to speed it up because it is unbelievably slow, and I have windows 7 64 bit operating system.

Transitions and titles in iMovie 06 create distorted audio

I'm trying to edit together some video and all of a sudden iMovie 06 is making a weird garbled, popping noise over the audio track of the video when it's playing a transition or title. I have absolutely no idea what could have cause this, I have been using the program for a while and this just happened out of the blue. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

iMovie's preference files can easily become corrupted. I can't say for sure, but that might be your problem. Try closing iMovie and then trashing the file com.apple.iMovie.plist found in User/Library/Preferences. iMovie will create a new preference file upon relaunch. Before relaunching, also do a permissions repair using the Utilities/Disk Utility app on your Mac.

Adding transitions and titles: no choosing ends of clips?

Hi there,
Does anyone have a clue about the following:
When setting a theme you can choose to tick the box 'add transitions and titles'. According to the tutorial you should get the following options about the end of clips in your projects:
- Overlap ends and shorten clip
- Extend ends etc.
How come I do not have this option? I'm working in Imovie 8.0.6.
Any suggestions? I would like to use these options now and then...

This was an option in iMovie 08, but it was removed in iMovie 09.
The current behavior is that it overlaps ends and shortens the clip. This is the way you would want it to behave for video. After you painstakingly edit out Uncle Joe picking has nose at the wedding, you don't want a transition to put the nose-picking back into your movie. The overall length of the movie stays the same.
For photos, it was useful to have the option of extending or overlapping and shortening. But this is no longer an option as far as I know.

Titles not exporting

I create a title, then a second title and after exporting the 2 minute video (takes about 30 min) the titles are only partially reflective of what they were in FCPX. Several lines are as if no text was entered, some have my text entered. I've made changes and exported then completely recreated the titles and exported, each time they are not as they were in FCPX.
Below are two screenshots showing the titles in FCPX before export, then the following two are after export in Quicktime.

do the boxes look like THIS ??

Transitions and Titles

Everytime I add a transition or title to a clip, it messes up the sound for the amount of time the title or transition plays. I don't know what to do. Anybody know how to fix this? Thanks.

Hi F
Sound:
Before inserting the transition. Select both clips involved. Extract sound.
Now do the transition without messing up the sound.

More transitions or titling options??

Is there somewhere to download or buy more transitions or titling options to add to the iMovie 09? I used to have the GeeThree's Slick program that added split screens, green screens, and all sorts of great stuff. Those don't work anymore because Apple changed the program's compatibility. Any thoughts?

the usual suspects are:
http://www.geethree.com

... and any outher source, you'll find googling for 'imovie plug in' ...

Blurry titles when exporting from interlaced to progressive?

I have a project which is DV PAL (720 x 576) and needs to be exported as a progressive H264 mpeg file. The video looks good in the export, but the titles are blurry. I just did a test and exported the project interlaced, and titles were fine. So the problem is clearly the transition from interlaced to progressive. Is there any way to get crisp titles in this situation?
Using Premiere CS6. Have tried exporting to progressive with several alterations to the title clips (reversing field order, always deinterlace) with the same result.

Hi JR Dungan,
How about you create a new progressive sequence, and then copy paste all of the content of your current interlaced sequence into the new progressive sequence, and export from there. I haven't worked with interlaced footage for years so I don't know for sure if this will help or not, but since it's quick and easy to do, it's worth a try.
Cheers!

Transitions and titles going black when rendered

For the last few months, I have been making some movies in iMovie HD, ranging from 2 min. to a bit over 20 min. long. Most of the content is iMovie08 slide shows imported to iMovie and interspersed with brief video clips taken with still cameras. Have done about two dozen at this point, with only one minor problem prior to the current one. (In that case, when I added subtitles they began to include several extra "trailer" sections, which wasn't a particular problem unless I had another subtitle following closely. Somehow, that resolved itself.)
The current movie was coming along fine. I had successfully added a couple of cross dissolves in the beginning between sections of slide shows and movie clips, then went on to complete the rest of the movie (20 min.) before going back to add the rest of the transitions and some titles. When I tried to put in cross dissolves or overlaps, the preview was correct but when the transition rendered, it became a fade to black followed by a cut. (Have subsequently checked several of the other transitions which I would not likely ever use and they all transition to black as well.) When I tried to put in titles, they also previewed correctly, but rendered over black instead of over the image. Tried all the easy stuff like closing and reopening iMovie, rebooting, making a new copy of the project, clicking the "over black" box off and on a few times. No luck. The only think I did any different in this project from all the others is turn or edit contrast/saturation in two clips in iMovie08 before exporting them back to iMovie HD.
I created a new user account and made a test movie and did not have the problem. Logging back in I deleted the cache and the plist files for imovie. After rebooting i can create a new project and the subtitle and transitions do not go black. The original project still has the problem. I even opened the project package and deleted the cache inside the project.
Has anyone figured out any way to salvage a project that is holding on to damaged preferences?

Did you try logging in on a new account and opening the problem iMovie file in the new account? I wasn't certain from your post whether you did that. Can other trouble free movies be created/played in the old account now that you deleted preferences?
Also, did you do a permissions repair in additiion to deleting the .plist file? You didn't mention that in your list. You should do a permissions repair using the Disk Utility app on your Mac.
Have you added any 3rd party or Quicktime plug-ins lately? These sometimes can cause conflicts. If you have any, you could try moving them to a different folder to temporarily disable them, and see if that solves it.
Make sure that you have sufficient free disk space for iMovie to operate efficiently. 20GB to 25GB is oft recommended on this forum.
Make sure that your Quicktime is updated to current version.
Any new software installed lately that could be causing a conflict?
If the problems are occurring solely in the currrent project, and the diagnostic efforts that you have made don't solve it, then you probably should start over. This is a relatively short movie, so the effort is fairly minimal. Can save a lot of time in the long run. You might be able to clear out all of your titles and transitions and transfer your clips into a new iMovie project with all of the editing still intact. Always make a backup copy of your movie, first.

Missing titles on export or closing out project/reopening

in FCPX everytime we export (either with the export in FCPX or sending to compressor) or close out project and reopen project -some of our titles go missing and show up as back as the default title or placement of our title gets moved back to default position - any thoutghs?

I don't think any amount of reinstalling is going to help.
I & others have the same problem with titles - https://discussions.apple.com/message/16179024#16179024
At the moment I'm resorting to using Motion for titles.
Which is really a ridiculous solution, but these are serious bugs.

Why does "Â" show up in image title after export?

This drives me nuts. When exporting files, the title changes on my images. The character "Â" appears within the title of my image. It's doesn't appear when I look under Library>Metadata. So everytime I use the exported files on my blog, I need to go in and change the name to a whole gallery of images.
Please help.

LR/Mogrify - been using it since LR came out for years without issue and now lately using LR3, I get that character.
I would try disabling LR/Mogrify just to see if it's in the game. Are you aware of the fact you need LR/Mogrify 2 on LR3?

Misalign animated titles after exporting videos in PE7- help needed

Hello, I'm a new user in PE7, I'm facing this problem on the animated texts titles where the positioning of the tiles will be out of alignment and somehow shifted say few cm away from the original position. The preview windows shows the texts effects alignment correctly but not when I exported the video.
The titles alignment will not be WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get.) Please advise. Thank you very much.

As ATR points out, this is not directly possible in PrE. PrPro CS4 allows one to just do a new Sequence (think of a mini-Project inside a Project), but that is the best.
I have not tried Paul_LS's method, though I have done other editing of the .PREL and PRPROJ (same type of file for PrPro) files in WordPad.
I'd do a Save_As (maybe increment the filename by 1, or "test") and work with that file, in case something goes horribly wrong. It should work, but you do not want to run the risk of loosing everything, even if you are likely to have to start from zero.
Because PrE does not allow for two, or more Projects to be Open at the same time, and will not run multiple instances of itself, the simple Copy/Paste does not do us any good. PrPro, with its Sequences, does allow for Copy/Paste between the Sequences. However, there is a program Clipmate, that allows for the Copy/Paste between one Project and another. I have not used it, as I use PrPro and have not needed it. Robert Johnson did several articles on Clipmate and it seemed to work well for many folk. I do not know if it's freeware, or shareware, but Google will track it down for you.
Good luck, and glad that it was just the Project Preset and nothing else.
